gobytron is an unknown quantity at this point

just a thought...

when I added carbon to my sump i actually lost an acro.
It looked much like yours does prior to it succumbing to the stress.

I had not been running it previously though, so it would have made a much bigger impact for my coral which wasalso near the top of my tank.

And another thought. For your filter, keep one basket with carbon (the carbon with bigger granules) and change monthly. The other 2 I would fill with small live rock rubble. Thats how I used to do it when I ran a cannister filter.

Agree.

But instead of 2 x LR you could go 1 of Chemi Pure or Rowa, or ZEOvit Zeolite Reactor Media.
